Frederick Wilkins, Esp. ~.111).e Company is formed as an auxiliary to the G reat Financial Associations recently established. It is not the province of these Institutions to carry out llae public works contemplated in the concessions they ob r!iob- tain.They are therefore compelled to seek t he co-opera on of contractors whose capital and position offer an un deniable guarantee for the completion of the works, thus relieving the financial associations of that responsibility. The constantly increasing scale on which public works of All kinds are carried out, and the immense capital involved, place them beyond the reach of individual c ontractors un eBg This by joint-stock enterpr i se. ..lompany has, therefore, been formed fer the put.- i ' eBB of undertaking the execution of great public works, and strangements have been entered into with well known co ntractors, by which contracts to the amount of £11,000,000 B te ding will be turned over to the Company. Among other contracts handed over to the Company is 1 t for the construction of the European Central Railway, 141 leh has been secured on favourable terms, and will be 'commenced forthwith. _ The active services of an eminent Con tractor, whose bnsi 'teas has been secured, will be retained to execute the work Oct, terms highly advantageous to the Company, he retaining the interest in the Company by receiving payment for transfer of his contracts in Shares with £5 only credited thereon, It is well known that many un d er t a kings of great corn ercial value have hitherto remained in abeyance f or want o f Contractors who can command the necessary resources to ensure their completion. This Company, combining the in .etience of a large subscribed capital, extensive financial co- O perations at home and abroad, with administrative experi ence and ability, will secure such an amo unt of confidence on the p ar t o f g o ver nments, public bodies, and the great f i nancial institutions, as will enable it to command an ex teusive business on favourable terms.

I, l T hfe Company has for its purpose the transaction of the Portant and remunerative business of Fire Insurance, a 'nd that only, to the exclusion of other branches of busi ess not unusually associate d with it, under the same direc tion, and operating on one and the same capital. The directors are satisfied that the scope for the business of fire i nsurance presented by this c ountr y and its def pendenmount cies, 8 2 as a commercial specu lation, deserving o para attention •on and, the contract bein g one terminable annually, t he t profits or loss arising de termine in like manner, year by year, and exhibit at once a company's financial position and its resources. While the partial remission of the fire insurance duty iOW in the contemplation of Government, and applicable ' 34I Y to the insurance of stock-in-trade, will afford a cora- Aaratively limited relief from the onereus oppression, the birectors have resolved to allow upon payment for every Policy, and afterwards at each renewal, an immediate draw aek, which, in many instances, will amount to a total ex- Unction of the entire duty of three shillings per cent. To the public at large, and to the greater proportion of the manufacturing and mercantile community, this arrange- Inent will prove a highly acceptable advantage. The draw back allowed by a few of the older offices by way of per tentage on premiums, a t intervals of years, is of im portance only to those ho are rated at premiums ranging chilly from one guinea per cent. upwards, and is partici natedd at the in only by those who may have premiums rn be re ewe per od of the making of these retus ;to whereas by the principle adopted by this Company, the owners of the classes of risk of the more ordinary occurrence, are they . who will be the more substantially and at the same Lane promptly benefited. The concession to be thus made to the public will cer. , !,ainly be the means not onl y of increasing in their respec :Lye amounts insuranc es now existing, but of multiplying V, a very large extent th e number of insurance contracts in this Country and its colonial connections. The insurable property in this kingdom alone, including ' lB enormous and increasing importations arising from the Ilse interchange of tariffs, is believed to approximate to : 4,0 00,060,000, whereas A 300,000,000 only is insured ; altogether leaving nearly three-faurths of the insurable amount Tgether unprotected from loss. ' t would be difficult to find any class of investments which dirYielded such large profits as the shares of well-con ducted &re offices. The shares of the older offices have in creased in in value immensely, being, In one case, at a pre ce,glll of about 1,300, and in another of nearly 2,000 per of , on the sums originally paid up.

This Company has been formed to meet the wants of the large and increasing trade between Liverpool and the St. Lawrence, the 'existing means of steam communication being altogether inadequate. Montreal is second only to New York as a port of export on the Atlantic seaboard of North America. The trade returns exhibit an increase in the business of the port of 100 per cent. in eight years, during which period there has been no increase whatever in steamship tonnage between Liverpool and Montreal. Liverpool receives a much larger proportion of the ex ports from the St. Lawrence than all the other ports of the United Kingdom, and it is from Liverpool that about four fifths of the imports into Canada are shipped, and while there are two lines of screw steamers now running between Glasgow and the St. Lawrence (a much inferior route both as regards passengers and freights), there is only one line running between Liverpool and the St. Lawrence. It is well known that the profits of steamships between Liverpool and Montreal are very large, and there can be no doubt, item the great increase of the trade, that by careful and economical management, the earnings of this Company , will yield a profitable return to the shareholders. The Com pany has received promises of support from most of the lead ing firms in Canada; 3,000 shares are reserved for allotment in the colony. 'The River St. Lawrence is the natural outlet of the trade, not only of Canada, but of all the great western States adjoining the lakes of North America. The grain producing power of these States is so enormous that Chi cago, which in 1854 shipped 12,863,912 bushels, in 1862 shipped 65,477,104 bushels of grain, besides vast quantities of provisions. The total quantity of grain from these western States, which now seeks a market by way of the lakes, is 15,000,000 quarters, and the annual increase is at the rate of 10 per cent. The north• west has arrived at a point of prcduction be yond any possible capacity for transportation except by the great natural outlet. It annually crowds canals and rail ways with over 100,000,000 bushels of grain, besides im mense quantities of provisions, and this increasing business cannot be maintaine4 without recourse to that natural out let of the lakes, the River St. Lawrence. By reason of the perishable nature of wheat and flour, and the loss susblined by heating on the long voyages of sailing ships, steamers always command a high rate of freight in this trade, In, consequence of the magnitude of the business, no un due competition need be entered into with the Allan line, and the first.class passenger traffic, which its ships are specially adapted to carry, will not be interfered with by this Company. It is proposed to build a fleet of screw steamers, of about 2,000 tons, of large carrying capacity, and of moderate but sufficient power. Such vessels can be built at a relatively much smaller cost than where high speed is required ; they can be sailed more economically, and offer equal ad vantages to shippers of merchandise and to steerage and intermediate passengers, who, from their greater number and less expensive mode of transport, are much more pro fitable than first-class passengers. No provisional or other contracts have been entered into with shipbuilders or others, and the Directors are free to buy in the beat and cheapest markets. The Directors are not entering upon an untried business, but are providing for the necessities of a trade which calls for an increase of steamship tonnage, and which has proved largely remunerative to the existing Company. It is intended to commence a fortnightly service each way, to be increased to a weekly line, calling at Queens town, as soon as vessels can be got ready. During the season when the St. Lawrence is closed the boats will run to Portland, which is now the great centre of the winter import and export trade of Canada, and where, by means of the Grand Trunk Railway, a very large export of provisions, ace., from the western States is now car ried on. No promotion money will be paid, and the preliminary expenses will consist solely of the actual necessary disburse ments and legal charges.

SECRETARY (PRO TEM.) Arthur Dossor, Esq. The Company has been formed for purchasing and ex tending the well-known iron ship-building establishment of Messrs. Martin Samuelson and Co., of Hull. The capabilities of these works are unsurpassed by any in the kingdom—they occupy 11 acres of ground, with water frontage to the river Humber and river Hull, having a depth of water of 30 feet. The present iron chip-building power of the establishment is equal to the construction of 20,000 tons per annum, at which rate the works are now being carried on. Messrs. Samuelson and Company have orders on hand for ships ex ceeding 20,000 tons ; other large orders are offered, and it is proposed to take 11 acres of land adjoining the present yard, and which Messrs. Samuelson and Company rave secured, so as to extend the works to meet the large daily increasing profitable demand for ships, and to erect rolling mills for the manufacture of the iron required for ship bulldog, as well as for all kinds of railway and engineering works. In addition to the engineering works, foundry, and ship building yards, there is a patent slip for repairing ships of the largest class. This is a highly profitable part of the buil ness. The demand for the use of this patent slip has been such that it has never been unemployed since Messrs. Samuel son and Company constructed it at a considerable cost some years ago. The situation of this establishment gives it special advan tages over others of a like character. The pri e of ship-build ing labour is lower at Hull than in any of the iron ship building ports of the kingdom; it is in the great iron district of Yorkshire; coal is cheap, railways run into the works, and connect them with all parts of England. Freights are very moderate from Hull, and the large timber trade of Hull offers advantages for the purchase of the timber, which is used in large quantities, on highly advantageous con ditions. Two thousand workmen are now employed at the works. The present orders in hand for ships, engines, and general engineering work amount to above £300,C00, all at very remu nerative prices. Reports made by some of the most eminent engineers who have examined the works, and who are specially acquainted with this branch of manufacture, show that atter making large allowances-30 per cent. off the capabilities of the works, the trade will, with the judicious management and employment of the capital, return a dividend of 20 per cent. and upwards to the shareholders much , and if the works continue a la amount. to be hilly emPloYe l . rger Tha terms oft urchase are highly advantageous; the plant and machinery, buildings, freehold and leasehold premises, together with al the stock of materials, are to b; taken at the valuation of two engineers, one named by the Company and the other by the vendors, with an umpire in the usual way. The goodwill of the business, including the profit on works in hand, is to be paid for at one year's pur chase of the net profits, but on an average of three years' working. In the event of no allotment being made, the deposits will be returned in fu 1. Should a less number of shares be al otted than is app .led for, the deposit will be made available towards the paym nt on allotment, and the balance, it any, returned to the applicant. Prospectuses and Forms of Application for Shares may be obtained at the Temporary Offices of the Company, 21, Threadneedle-street, and 80, Lombard-street, and ox the Brokers and kioliettors.

ELECTION RUMOURS, The country papers teem with notices of proceed ings connected with elections in the event of a dis solution of Parliament. At Salisbury, General Buckley will retire, and there are already two candidates in the field—Mr. Hamilton, a brother of the bishop, in the Liberal interest, and Mr. Chap man, a Conservative. At Stokeeupon-Trent, Mr. , Alderman Copeland retires, and Mr. A. J. Beresford Hope, who formerly represented the borough, offers himself as a candidate. Sir Michael Hicks &moll, Bart., will offer himself in the Conservative interest for the borough of Cirencester. Mr. Walker will resign his seat for Beverley, and Mr. Christopher Sykes, a eon of the late Sir Tatton Sykes, offers himself as a candidate. The Liberals of Yarmouth propose to bring forward Mr. Torrens M'Cullagh, M.P. for Dundalk in 1847, and Mr. David Falcke, as candidates at the next election. Mr. Falcke, who is a Jew, and formerly a Bond-street tradesman, was recently appointed a magistrate for the borough. The Conservatives will again support Sir E. Lacon, the sitting member, and Mr. Goodson, the chairman of the Great Eastern Railway. Mr. R. Potter, the chairman of the Great Western Railway Company will be a candidate for the city of Gloucester on the Conservative interest. Mr. Stewart Lane, a shipowner, is announced as a Conservative candidate for Plymouth. The Irish papers :state that it is not likely that Mr. MiCann will cffer himself for re-election for the borough of Drogheda, end that Captain Raw:, proprietor of the Irish Times, a Conservative journal, will become a candidate. Mr. Joseph Hoare, of London, has announced his intention of becoming a candidate for Hull on Liberal principles. Mr. Stone of Leigh Park, will contest Portsmouth, on the Liberal interest. Mr. 0. Ricardo, M.P. for Wor cester, has announced his intention of retiring at the close of the present Parliament.

Wills is announced as a Liberal can didate for Harwich, and Mr. J. Gardonßebow_will contest Colchester on Liberal principles. HERNE'S OAK.—So late as last summer Herne's Oak, understood to be the tree referred to by Shak spore in the "Merry Wives of Windsor," was still one of the chief objects of interest in Windsor Park. It had ceased to put out leaves for more than half a century, and its sapless trunk was hollowed out by gradual decay to a height of 10 or 12 feet from the ground. On a quiet evening in August last the crumbling support gave way, and the heavy upper branches fell with a crash to the ground. Her 'Majesty gave directions that all the solid timber they contained should be preserved, and of it various articles have since been made as relics of tha venerable tree, famous even in the time of Queen Elizabeth for its age and size. Among the most interesting of the objects formed of the wood are two busts of Shakapere, recently carved by Mr. Perry, of 6, North Audley-street; one for the Queen and the other for the Prince of Wales. The artist has adopted the costume of the Stratford bust. He has, bow ever, made use not only of that, but of the portraits in his representation of the poet's features and general appearance. He was supposed to be about 30 years of age when the por traits were taken, and to have been represented at the age of 52 in the Stratford monument. Mr. Perry has endea voured to represent what Shakepere might have bees. when from 40 to 45 years of age. He has copied the high fore head and arched eyebrows of the stone monument, and at the same time avoided the high shoulders, inanimate ex pression, and ridiculous smirk which disfigure it. These he has exchanged for the more graceful bearing, the thinner face, marked features, and more thoughtful expression of the portraits, and the result is a figure of the poet carved in oak which may fairly vie with works of sculpture in brass or stone. THE TRUE STORY OF THE ACTOR PALMER'S DEATH.—At length the night came (in July, 1798) when he was to repeat the character of the " Stranger,' and then there was no simulation in this mournful aspect. He had got through hispart to the middle of the opening scene of the fourth act. He had answered, " I love her still," to the query of Baron Steinfort (Whitfield) respecting hit wife; and than to the question as to his children, he gave the reply, " I left them at a small town hard by ;" but the words, falteringly uttered, had scarcely passed his lips, when he fell, dead, at Whitfield's feet 1 The sensation which this caused was most painful ; and it was not allayed by those pious persons who saw in his sudden death an especial judgment launched by Heaven on the head of a man wh) exercised an unrighteous calling. T o su pport their theory they invented the story that Palmer was stricken after uttering the quotation, in the first scene of the third act, ti Th ere i s another and a better world I" These words suited the inferences which they wished to draw. They did not agree with the facts : but it was the old story, "so much the worse for the facts I The lie yet lives,—" Their Ma jesties' Servvnt3," by Dr. Doran.

This company has been formed with the view of develop ing the agricultural, manufacturing. commercial, and mineral resources of Ireland, and providing for that country those pecuniary facilities which have so much contributed to the advancement and prosperity of the other portions of the United Kingdom. It is proposed that this company should act— lstly. As a Finance Company, for negotiating and making advances upon approved real and personal securities, and it necessary the using end dealing in the same. The taking contracts for railways or other works ; the receiving moneys on deposit, and generally transacting financial business as principal or agent. 2dly, As a Land Credit Company, for buying, selling, making advances on, and dealing in real property of all descriptions and tenures, and of all estates and interests therein, including the erection of buildings thereon, and improving, or repairing the same. 3dly. As a Land Improvement Company, for reclaiming, draining, and improving lands, and making and construct• ing roads, and executing all works ; and, either as principal or agent, making estimates and enterin'g into contracts for the same. 4thly. As agent, by affording facilities for the association of capitalists desirous of taking a limited interest in remu nerative undertakings of a local character, either privately or by introducing them to the public. The wet and waste lands of Ireland amount to more than 6,000,009 acres, affording a fruitful field for the employment of capital by reclamation and drainage. Capital can also be profitably employed in making advances on land and other property with the Landed Estates Court or other good titles. The want of this association has been long experienced by those most competent to form a sound judgment on such a question; and it is generally admitted that the proper time has arrived when such an undertaking can be successfully carried out. The articles of association may be seen at the solicitors of the company. In the event of no allotment being made the deposits will be returned in full. Should a less number of shares be allotted than are applied for, the deposits will be made available towards the payment on allotment, and the balance, if any, returned to the applicant. Prospectuses and forms of applications for shares in the form annexed to the prospectus, may be obtained at the bankers, brokers, solicitors, and of Messrs. G. H. and A. T.

This Company is est ,blished %order to afford to the agents and connections of the Albert Life Assurance Company, founded in 1838, an opportunity to combine the transaction of Fire and Marine Insurance with that of Lite Assurance. The Albert Life Assurance Company has a share capital of £500,000 fully subscribed, and has an income from premiums of upwards of .£230,000 per annum, and during the last three years has issued new policies of assurance to the amount of £2,573,879, the premiums upon which amount to £108,150. FIRE IMPARTMENT. The Agents, Policyholders, and Shareholders of the Albert Life Company necessarily form a connection of the most influential character for a Fire and Marine Insurance Com pany. The annual increase in the wealth of the country and in that desotiption of property known as " Insurable Property," has suggested the formation of several new Fire Insurance Offices, but the Directors of this Company believe that in very few instances has a Fire Company started with the same chances of Success as attend the introduction of this.
